“When one person's happiness conflicts with another person's happiness, that’s when unhappiness is born, but when two people’s unhappiness conflicts, it usually only creates more unhappiness, you know? I just want to crawl into a warm bed and sleep.”

Yuki Tsukumo, Episode 22

🌅Dawn (Adult!SatoSugu x Adult!Fem!Reader)🌅

A/N: Wholesome fluffy lovey dovey pillow talk kinda mornings with these two. I am miffed there is no character audio with these two x listener anywhere, talk about injustice! Well this is my take on it and imma do more in the future!

*11/22/23 - I consider this oneshot part of the teacher!AU. Sorry for that abrupt decision!

Yo, this week's episode ... insane~ This season actually is insane so.

All credit for JJK and its characters goes to Gege.

* Please DON'T plagarize, translate, or repost my FANFIC content. Reblog, like, and follow instead.

Enjoy.

A deep rumbling groan parted the lips belonging to the snowy haired man face first in his pillow on one side of the bed that was moving too much to his liking.

"Who's rocking the bed this early?" Even in sleepiness, he had to slip in an innuendo.

A groggy yawn fell from the lips of his raven long haired partner on the opposite side of the bed, tiredly jabbing. "You would be my immediate guess."

The rustle of sheets and the sensation of a smaller warm form brushing in between them brought them both more attentively out of their drowsy state. Gojo looked over his shoulder to see something moving downwards to the bed's end. A curly grin surfaced on his face. "Hmm …"

His shadow loomed over the anxious form hidden beneath. "Well, well, well~" His hands stretched out and his fingers wiggled. "What have we here~?"

His fingers striking their form had familiar giggles spilling out, bringing a snicker out of him. "Suguru~ Someone's down here~"

Said man rolled over on his back, resting his arms behind his head, watching with tired amusement at his best friend tickling the certain someone hidden through their sheets. "Oh~?"

"A sneaky little cutie was trying to slip out whilst we were sleeping~" Gojo’s evil low laugh spelled doom.

Gojo pulled the sheets up enough to slip underneath, resulting in a fit of laughter from both parties hidden, as he went back to gentle tickling. Limbs squirmed and jostled underneath followed by streams of intermingling laughter as they kept bumping into Geto's thighs. "H-Hey!"

Feeling a smaller body drape over his lap startled Geto enough to pull off the sheets to see what the heck was going on.

Seeing you tug down his low hanging sweatpants enough for you to gingerly kiss his two small beauty marks on his right hip so affectionately made Geto’s heart pitter patter rapidly.

“Sugu, please tell Toru to sta – AAHP~!" You broke out into a squeal, kicking your legs to push Gojo off but that only made him tickle you more. "Mehehehercy~!"

"Hey! No sucking up to him, missy!" Gojo jested, sliding his hands under your top, wiggling his digits into your sides deeply enough to bring out more chortling squeals.

"Hang on, Satoru~ At least let her breathe so she can make a case in her defense." Geto grabbed Gojo's persistent hands to get you free enough to breathe in thankful takes of oxygen, hugging Geto while keeping nervous eyes and an accusing finger pointed at the cat eyed miscreant.

"I promised Nanami I would go out and help him with some errands. Haibara is stuck sick at their place so it seemed only right to help them out." You defended.

"Oh, I'm sure Yu would rather be in the darling company of his Nanamin~" Gojo crawled over, nuzzling your cheek, cheekily grinning up at you as he rested his noggin on your shoulder.

"Which is why I gotta get ready and – EEP!" Your attempt at pulling away from their difficult comforting hold and getting out of bed were cut in half as their two tall heavy bodies toppled over on you, pushing you down to lay on your stomach.

"Have you forgotten you woke us up?" Satoru drawled, his cheery tone barely coating his irritation, as his hands squeezed your sensitive sides.

"Hehehey~!" Your hopeless tussle to squirm away was getting fruitless quickly.

"And you tried sneaking out with our backs turned?" Suguru added, his calm smile underlined with inner deviousness.

Satoru dramatically exclaimed. "Just to be in the company of another man – !"

"Hey, Nanami-san is our collective friend, and I gave my word to help – mmph~!" You were cut off as you were flipped to lay on your back just so Satoru could smooch you, all sloppily and deeply, his tongue brushing yours in the messy lip lock.

"It's not fair! We should spend every morning together as much as possible!" Those puffed up cheeks of his made your resolve falter.

"We do! But one day alone ain't gonna kill you two. I mean, I'm flattered for being so deeply needed but – mmh~!" Suguru's sculpted hand weaved through your locks, cradling your noggin, just to pull you close enough to languidly French kiss you, drawing pleased sighs outta you while Satoru licked and nipped your arching neck like the human cat that he is.

"We'd rather you stay here. For much … much … longer." Suguru's bedroom eyes are so palpable. His lulling, rich voice is so tempting.

"We want our sweet, darling angel to stay here." Satoru nuzzled his face in between your clothed bosoms, fluttering those long white eyelashes at you. "To cuddle, to kiss, to enrapture." His own addictive voice has you shivering in anticipation.

Their eyes are hypnotizing. Their combined scents are invigorating. The strongest duo have you hook, line, and sinker.

You sigh, conceding but floating on enamored air. "I'll meet up with Nanami later this afternoon. Fair enough?"

Their velvety beautiful faces beamed with pride and joy as they planted a kiss on either end of your lips. "Wifey~!"

"Clingy giants." You mushed out.

"We heard that." They grumbled in unison.

"Kinda the point~" Your teasing earned you a restless half hour spent feeling their ticklish butterfly kisses pepper your face, neck, and ears and turning you into a squirmy giggling mess. Your spasming legs got stuck entangled in theirs as their hands roamed your body, wiggling into your thighs, your hips, your sides. "Stahahahahahap~! Plehehehehease~!"

"God, I should use Infinite Void to keep us in this moment~" Satoru's nose pressed into your collarbone, smiling into your cherished skin.

"Perhaps." Suguru's freed raven bangs tickled your nose, aweing at the sneeze it elicited out of you, smooching your nose as an apology. "Bless you."

"Wait, rewind! You're gonna do what — MMM~!" Their hearts throbbed for their indulgence of you, stopping their tickling, preferring to smother your face in their snug fitting chests. "I made a huge mistake!" Your muffled dramatic cries had them laughing tiredly.

Eventually, everything prior had worn you three out enough to settle you down, draping the bed comforter back over yourselves, their intertwined arms keeping you cocooned and them grounded.

Even when slipping in and out of consciousness, seeing your tranquil, content face nestled in between them had them sagging in relief at how they were able to keep you around for longer.

Laxing but still snug as a bug, you were lulled by their soft breathing and their grounding coziness.

Even special grade sorcerers slash teachers need to unwind and relax. In their own little hideaway.

And having you there made it all complete.

The beams of sunshine trickled through the curtains, painting the bedroom in golden hues, as dawn became the setting of you guys' dream where three become one.

JJK S2 EP 22 SPOILERS!!

Choso & Yuji’s interactions were rlly silly this episode. They felt similar to the nonseriousness of the first season. It was a nice change in pace compared to the last few episodes.

DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON YUKI’S ENTRANCE. IT WAS SO WELL DONE AND I WAS SOOOO EXCITED TO SEE HER!! SHE IS SOO BBG I LOVE HER VERYVERY MUCH.

Hi ! I was wondering why weren't you reviewing jjk episodes anymore ? I loved reading your thoughts about the anime and I can't find other reviewers like you 😓

Love your blog !

First of all, thank you for the kinds words! Second of all, it's a bit of a complicated affair.

I think there are a lot of triumphant moments in this second season of JJK for the animators. I think a lot have done work that really can't be described as anything else other than a miracle in the context of this season.

But you sort of reach this fork in the road with those efforts, and neither is really where I want to end up.

The first option is praising the animators for their work. There's a lot of great work in the season. Not a mountain of work that I really think fits the context of JJK that well (and also severely messes with power scaling), but work that is undeniably well animated and executed.

The second option is to disparage MAPPA for their approach and behavior surrounding the production of this season. Front-loading staff to provide something presentable, or going in the opposite direction and putting animators in the position of having to work with the bare minimum to achieve a level of animation quality that is satisfactory for the studio (see the total lack of color and composition/lighting in episodes like episode 17).

What's challenging is that with both approaches, you'll both anger and upset people, as well as add fuel to the fire.

If you praise the animators for their work, people will immediately attribute that to Mappa, or justify the conditions due to the work being put out. Not like every other studio is a saint, but there's a reason that Mappa's been in the hot seat vs anybody else out there.

If you disparage the work of the studio, people do the inverse of what I just said, targeting the work of the animators themselves.

So it ends up this catch 22 that will always bother people and give others the ammunition to justify or disparage things based on their personal view of the situation.

In terms of more personal reasons, I think this season's just sort of been a struggle for me in general. I was a bit of a doomer right from the moment that Park was no longer associated with the project, so I haven't had the greatest headspace to really engage with the season. As this season's gone on, that mentality has only really worsened as it essentially revolves around finding good animators to get you from scene to scene. The moment that a not-so-great animator is present, the thing just sort of falls apart.

And then there's the story. It's such a funny thing, and in a way reminds me of Chainsaw Man. It's hard to really draw the line in terms of which staff member's influence it is (director/series composition/etc), but there's a few shadowy hands at play behind the season in ways that sour it for me.

The overall idea stays the same, they'd be crucified for doing anything to the core, so it's all these little details that get changed around. Poses or key interactions, even things as bold as the order of events. There is a hand that stirs a pot with these smaller details in a way that makes me question why. They don't feel necessary, but the approach feels like the person behind them felt they were needed. It's a weird greed in approaching the content.

A lot of people get up in arms when stuff gets changed period, and those people are sort of weird. Because of them though, the viewer's ability to challenge the creative input behind the adaptation becomes moot, and I don't think that's great. People can mess up, people can be too focused on their own interpretation and ideas, and viewers should be allowed to speak on those things and criticize them.

Anyways, bringing it full circle. I was already just barely holding on when this season started, and since then that thread of interest has been severed in really talking about Jujutsu Kaisen. Nuance no longer exists, criticism is either entirely baseless or used to attack individuals, praise always goes to the wrong people. If I were to point my reasoning in a single direction, I'd say it's largely got to do with the outlook and ideas of not just fans of Jujutsu Kaisen, but the average anime fan in general currently.

Not that I can't handle hate or harassment or anything, but when my entire idea behind doing these things is to engage the community in discussion surrounding something, and all that comes back is the equivalent of monkeys at a typewriter, it's just... tiring.

Learning more about production is incredibly important and should be fostered and encouraged within the community. But it's just so, so bad where people choose to stand in terms of learning. You either get people that know a few things and weaponize them to justify their personal (and biased) opinions, or the extremes in the sakuga-head territory that gatekeep and delight in sniffing their own farts like that South Park episode. It's hard to really find justification to discuss things in a public space when so few people occupy a reasonable position.

Megumi Fushiguro (Jjk official fanbook)

"Even if I were to put my life at risk, I am not even thinking of throwing it away."

Age: 15 years old

Birthday: 22 December

Level: 2nd level sorcerer

Enrolment modalities: family lineage

Technique: Technique of the ten shadows

Ability: Technique of the ten shadows, Jade Dogs (white), (black), (turbid), Chimera, Snake, Toad, Elephant, Rabbits on the Run, Bottomless Pit; Domain Expansion: Garden of Shadows.

Hobby: read

Favourite food: anything that goes well with ginger

Food he doesn’t like: peppers (and sweet side dishes in general)

Source of stress: people (90% of the time)

His type: there is no particular type (as long as she has an incorruptible humanity).

Q: Is Fushiguro saddened when one of his shikigami is destroyed?

A: In his own way he is very sorry. Fushiguro is that type person that he seems more sad when an animal die rather than a human.

Q: Is he the type who takes an interest in other people's love affairs?

A: Rather than being interested, let's say he likes to check whether he got it right or not

Q: In what way would he reject a girl who declares herself to him?

A: “Sorryyyyyyyy!”

Q: Does he watch newspapers and read the news?

A: He watches and reads, but he think that the half of the informations are a lie.

Q: What was the first mission in absolute and who assigned it to him?

A: It was something suitable for him according to Gojo. But maybe Gojo was mocking him.

Q: Who taught Megumi the martial arts and how to handle arms?

A: Gojo and Maki.

Q: When he was in the middle school, which was the episode as a problematic guy most scandalous?

A: The “case of the perfectly healthy young offenders hanging from a banner”.

Q: Apart from your former classmate, did any of your other friends die?

A: I think so. At that point in history, Fushiguro had already had quite a long career as a sorcerer.

Q: How did Megumi and Tsumiki cope after their parents disappeared?

A: Crucially, Tsumiki took care of all the household chores and Megumi helped her. When the reminders to pay bills began to arrive, Gojo stepped in and settled the debts before the (small) amount of money left to the two kids by Tsumiki's mother ran out.

Q: He immediately remembered the names of his classmates. Did he by any chance hang out with them a lot in his middle school days?

A: He just has a good memory.

Q: How did he become so perceptive?

A: Maybe is because he has a negative vision rather of the world and he is basically someone who does not trust others.

Q: Why is Inumaki is not included in his list of senpai to be respected?

A: Because Inumaki joins the antics of Panda and Gojo all too quickly.

Q: Has he ever laughed so hard that he cried?

A: I don't think so.

Q: How was he treated as a sorcerer before he entered the Institute of Occult Arts? Was he ever assigned missions?

A: He was never assigned missions, Gojo, to whom he was entrusted, would drop by every so often to see what he was doing and take him on missions with him.

Q: Is the tablet used by Fushiguro his personal device?

A: It belongs to the Institute. The management assistants who move with him lend it to him when necessary.

Q: Did he know Maki and Mai before he even entered the Institute?

A: Yes. When Gojo was working on solving the problem of Megumi's connection with the Zenin, he showed up at the clan house with the boy, so I think that's when they first met.

Q: Is there a reason why he hates peppers?

A: He doesn't like sweet side dishes.

Q: Is there anything in particular that you focus on regarding your character design?

A: His profile looks too much like Itadori's if I'm not careful, I see this as my big failing.

JJK season 2 ep 22 Thoughts!

+ manga spoilers❗️

Crunchyroll subtitles using they/them for Uraume is a relief after they used he/him for Tengen for no reason earlier in the season (also uzumaki is translated directly instead of maelstrom from movies translated! which is better for both the junji ito reference and consistency with the official manga)

Kenjaku, acting like they didn’t give birth to the child in front of them: sukunas vessel is tough! :o

Liked the episode! Naturally not as spectacular as some of the fight heavy episodes, but I actually love exposition/info heavy scenes, especially if there’s fun character interactions too. The power system is the most fun when it’s woven into the story like Kenjaku’s excuse for maximum uzumaki.

Mei Mei scene was just as bad as i thought it would be. Incredibly messed up that she’s where Nanami could only dream to go to, and taking advantage of her younger brother there,,, Too many anime/manga I’ve consumed (bsd, ouran, csm, sxf, etc.) have these exact trope(s) I hate at some point and the various reasoning behind it in each never really justifies the portrayal for me 😭 Unsure if it’s worse or better this is never brought up again in the manga.

Kenjaku turning Mahito into an orb was SO beautiful. The screams and distortion of Mahito’s body added a lot to it. Here’s to Kenjaku consuming 1/2 of their “friends” (Tengen look out)

Happy with Uzumaki! Well, much happier than the movie’s, since I didn’t like how difficult it was to see any of the curses at all. This was better, but the manga, with its Junji Ito seal of approval, depiction was still the most effective and disturbing. The build up to it was gorgeous. I’m still convinced Miwa is going to do something in the upcoming manga fight(s) 😤 Who needs a katana anyways.

Somehow realized this on rewatch, but I like how Kenjaku’s uzumaki was mostly for extracting Mahito’s technique across a vast distance and at specific people, rather than being a move just to take Miwa out. It clearly wasn’t a bother to them if they all survived (since they wanted messengers—and they’d probably end up in the culling games later anyway).

💕💞💓💗💖💝choso💕💞💓💗💖💘💝

I don’t have anything to say about him; he was very cute. I love how animated his expressions are in the anime and manga. Classic fun jjk humor with Kamo from Kyoto High getting scared when Choso screamed his name. I loved the music during his extended fight.

Kenjaku when Choso: This loser? Again?

A lot of characters I love all in one episode, so thrilled to see their interactions. I just like seeing the cast get together for fights and try to help.

Kenjaku flying around on the stingray was a cute addition and the extra bit of fighting was nice! Tiny preview of the fight to come whenever the end of season 3 is animated.

Kenjaku sounded more Evil™️ than I imagined during this scene (the dramatic music helped with that). I can’t wait until the anime finally shows how ridiculous and over-the-top they are, since that honestly makes them a much more entertaining and interesting villain imo. I don’t want to constantly compare to the manga because I adore the anime, but I thought Kenjaku was boring in the first season, until I started the manga. This season does much better (in terms of voice acting, animating expressions, etc) with making them unique and? villainous?? But it’s still leaning a bit more into generic mastermind villain. They can be imposing and a hammy villain parent. Did like their random “hehehe” during it

Uraume looked incredible. LOVE their ice powers and how they were animated. And their insulted and frustrated feelings shone through the voice acting. They do NOT like all those people around sukuna’s vessel and are annoyed to even be near Kenjaku in this whole mess of a situation.

🩷💖💘yuki tsukumo🩷💖💘😘

She is beautiful! And the constant avoidance from Geto and Kenjaku to answer her question about their types of women. With every passing moment, Todo telling only Megumi it’s fine if he likes guys is unbelievably hilarious, but also that’s why Todo is the best.

I’m hoping there’s naobito’s will and naoya included for the next episode. It would be a nice crumb of next season and confirmation of Naobito and maki’s statuses. Every one has covered around 3 chapters, so it’s not impossible. I could only see it not happening if they extend the Yuuta chapter because there’s pages of just text for the higher ups debating and for their decisions to kill yuuji and yaga.

This is how it feels knowing this episode might be the only time Yuuji and Kenjaku ever interact in canon, and Yuuji doesn’t even know about his parentage here:

Would I rather yuuji confront sukuna or kenjaku at the end of jjk? yes. is that going to happen? no.

Why Makishima Shogo seems like the better antagonist

I’m too scared to post this on the psycho-pass subreddit. I’m also eight years behind on this discourse.

Intro:

I almost didn’t watch Pyscho-Pass season 2 for two reasons. First, I doubted that season 2 would live up to the legacy of season 1. I’ve seen many sequels ruin an amazing series. Second, I read so many comments about how season 2 was bad and not worth watching. The thing is, I loved season 1and I loved the cast, including our villains. I renewed my Crunchyroll subscription, to watch JJK 0, and found myself on Psycho-Pass.

Season 2 is fantastic. It’s not as amazing as season 1, but I’ve never held the belief that a sequel must top its predecessor. As long as it’s a quality story, it’s worth the watch. Now, like a lot of other basic ass anime fans, I didn’t like Kamui Kirito, our new main antagonist. Part of this dislike could be because I love Makishima Shogo. He is my homicidal meow meow and was a fantastic villain. When I finished the season, I finally figured out why Kamui feels so lackluster in comparison.

Let me set some things up. Season 1 had 22 episodes. This season introduces us to Sibyl-run Japan and slowly reveals its mysteries. Season 2 is only 11 episodes, and we’re also down half of our cast. There’s also no mystery regarding the Sibyl System since we learn of its true nature during season 1’s final arc. Kamui is working with half the run time, a different writer, and drastically different circumstances regarding the greater mysteries of the show. He’s already at a disadvantage.

So, what am I trying to say? Kamui is a bad villain, but it’s not his fault? Absolutely not. Kamui Kirito isn’t a bad villain, he just serves a different purpose than Makishima. I know this is obvious to some fans. Of course, a different antagonist does different things. Kamui is different, though.

A Character and a Concept:

I think the writers approached Makishima and Kamui from different positions. In my view, Makishima is a character. Kamui is a concept.

Characters can take on many forms in storytelling. They can be full-fledged people, archetypes, or concepts. Makishima was a fully developed, three-dimensional character that had a philosophy the writers wanted to express. Makishima exists in society’s blindspot. While this isolated him, it also provided him with a unique perspective: the corruption of the Sibyl system and how it’s “killing” people.

Kamui is a character that represents a concept. He is not a three-dimensional person, but a representation. It’s like comparing Bojack Horseman to Stan Smith. Bojack is a developed character. Stan is an archetype in a political satire. They cannot be properly compared, because their characters are fundamentally not the same.

There’s a difference between disliking a character because they seem like a fully developed person you would hate in real life, and disliking them because they’re poorly written. Don’t worry, neither of our antagonists are the latter.

Let’s get more in-depth.

Makishima Shogo:

Some might say that Makishima’s motivations are simple. There is a constant discussion about whether villains need to be complex characters and have equally complex motivations. It’s not a simple answer, but I think it’s nuanced. A villain can have a simple motivation and be good, like comics Thanos. Someone being down bad is a good motivation. Making MCU Thanos have more “complex” motivations made him look dumb and incompetent.

Makishima is a lonely person, and that forms his life views. He’s not specifically obsessed with the Sibyl system. He’s bored. It seems like a simple motivation, but it’s not unreasonable or dumb. He’s not actively trying to reform society. Even his final plan would throw the country into absolute chaos.

What makes Makishima compelling is that simple motivation and the complexity of his views that stem from it. Makishima makes good points. Literally, the worst person you know just made a good point. He’s not wrong that society is complacent, that their lives are carefully crafted and controlled, that they cannot react properly to stimuli, and that Sibyl is a flawed system that locks up even when Makishima killed someone directly in its sight.

Makishima received as much attention and development as our “heroes.” He’s a foil to Akane and Kogami. He’s a person with a worldview that challenges the world our protagonists work to defend.

There’s also his personality. Makishima doesn’t pretend to be a good person. He has one legitimately arrogant moment, and that’s when he held Yuki hostage. He made good points, but he was still being a murderous asshole. Makishima has his own views and, since society is incapable of seeing him, does whatever he wants.

Also, the characters that surround him are developed. They have distinct personalities and motivations. They were fun to watch.

Kamui Kirito:

Is there any better illustration of my point that Kamui is a concept than him literally being a hive mind? Kamui is made from the body parts, including brains, of his classmates. Kamui isn’t a single person. He’s Sibyl’s foil, a collective that cannot be judged. He’s the omnipotence paradox. Can the ultimate judge, judge itself? Is Sibyl truly an unbiased system that protects society?

Now there are issues with Kamui. He’s a self-aggrandizing cult leader who acts like he has some moral superiority. I’m pretty sure he killed more people than Makishima. You cannot act as if you’re saving people by purposefully attacking and murdering them. He killed dozens of people to test out the dominators. He acts like a savior, when he just has personal beef with Sibyl.

Then there’s his cult. Shisui is wasted. A battered woman who falls for her captor. She’s disturbing loyal to him because he gave her medicine that doesn’t even alter personalities. She spends most of the season dressed in a leather catsuit and fawning over him with religious fervor. Do we get any introspection of her motivations? No. Everyone else in this little posse acts exactly the same. It’s annoying.

Kamui is less developed than Togane, in my opinion. That supports my belief that he is a concept not a character. Kamui is there to present the paradox and challenge Sibyl directly.

So…?

Makishima and Kamui are good antagonists. They’re different types of characters that serve different purposes. Season 2 is fantastic and expands the series in a good direction. While our main cast has changed, there are still great characters that we get to see grow. Some are very fucking annoying, but they serve a purpose I think makes the show better.

wait i wanna know what problems u have w c/sm characters!!!

omg i have so many!!! quick disclaimer though: i like anime and it's not actually hate or criticism of it, just.... problems i have lmao

ok, let's start with denji!!! he's cool? i actually didn't like him in the beginning, his constant talks about boobs kinda annoyed me, but then i found out that he's 16? constant talks about boobs make a lot, lot of sense now. actually, he's my new standard of anime characters, other main characters also should constant talk about boobs, it's perfectly natural for boys of 15-16 years old. also, he's my little cutie pie and must be protected at all costs.

next, next... we have.... makima? big fan of her design! big fan of her clothes and her huge flapping coat! unfortunately, not a big fan of her manipulations and psychosexual relationship with denji🫤

power? i kinda like power (again, HUGE fan of her design, but i love designs of all characters tbh), she's cool, character wise? but ummmm, the way she uses everyone around her and tries to run away from practically every fight? even though she's, u know, a practically immortal demon? i must admit, that's not very cool of her 😐 like, i know she's a demon and her feelings and emotions are different because of that and maybe some great character development moment will happen to her next, but yeah.... as of now, i don't like her very much (although i do enjoy her dynamics with other characters)

aki is..... ok, ig? i don't have any problems with him, he's the most ok guy in the anime, he doesn't annoy me like some do. however..... (this might be a controversial opinion) i find him kinda boring. he's in some ways similar to sasuke or megumi from jjk but he doesn't have an interesting edge like sasuke did and he doesn't have friendly characters he can play off from and show off his softer side. again, maybe he'll get better in future episodes, he's going through a pretty interesting arc so maybe i'll warm up to him just like i did to megumi. i've got to say though, the way other characters treat him? so unfair!!! he agreed to live with power and denji (absolute nuisances), cook and clean the house for them, and what those two offer him in return? a visit to the hospital where they were acting like assholes and then?? stole his apples??? guys why😭 aki is a good dude

oh, now i guess, it's himeno's turn? and i got to admit, i was very VERY excited for this character to show up, her design is superb, but, um...... the way she practically threw herself at denji? denji who is only sixteen years old? i know she was drunk and going through a lot, but girl...... he's sixteen....... idk how old she is, my guess is somewhere between 22 and 25, which might not seem like a big age difference, but.... he's 16.... he's practically baby, why would she, ugh...... also hate to say this but her leadership skills in the ep with hotel kinda sucked ass? i can (sort of) excuse her not wanting for aki to fight because his sword shortens his life span, but those two newbies who were freaking out all the time and aggravating everyone around them? girl..... why didn't you just lock them in some room or tie them up to bed or SOMETHING, they clearly were bringing down everyone's moral and damaging the result of the operation

one of the newbies, the girl, her name is kobeni, if i'm not mistaken? annoyed me to no end in the beginning BUT when she saved danji? that was cool as shit bro, i really hope she did some self-reflection and will become a cool devil hunter in the future😌

the new guy? the crueler, more ruthless version of kakashi, who drinks and actively harms his two pupils? i love him!!! he's not only super cool (the strongest character! i just got to like a character like that), but also he's voiced by kenjiro tsuda and he did phenomenonal work as joker from fire force and nanami from jjk and his voice is really, really sexy, ok?

other new characters - tendo and the guy that is always with her? oh, they're good, no complaints about them (yet), and i hope we'll get to see more of them in the future

so, in conclusion! i like csm, the op kicks ass, the characters are interesting, but not very likable. i can excuse murder, (some) war crimes, amorality and general ruthlessness but i absolutely draw the line at trying to seduce the main underaged character, i'm sorry 😔
